The monster’s leather was c64ffd7296 thick and tough, making 99e753ddfd it much harder to 1eb7cf2b22 butcher than the Goblin. I thought I had 76bbe76ae3 built my strength and 1b268a626e stamina running around in 3bc671d8c4 the Tutorial Field, but a79d3c0ebc I was still just f9877d0d95 a barely awakened person, bfd32a3495 so this was tough.3b752bd1bdb66a24

Even though 091305635b it was f627a4a1fa his first a6fe7def3b try, Jjikjjiki’s ff05b32506 butchering skills c05baf4af4 were not bfb764601a bad at b524032bcc all. In fact, because 718a9e18a2 of his strength, ccbb9a1249 the cut was 53340b431b very clean.
